Welcome to episode 5, season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! This week's episode was inspired by a song called Healing is Not My Purpose by Toni Jones (available via Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/track/3YjTY55wEzj5PJXexonZPj?si=7b28501a392c49a3 )
"The healing should be in service to living." - Laura
In this episode, we explore:
- How our addiction to self-improvement leaves so much joy and life on the table
- Why so many of us get stuck in healing and how it is perpetuated in our culture
- How healing can be a distraction. What is it a distraction from, and in what way?
- Why it's not enough to talk about what we are shifting, we actually have to embody and experience it
- How small talk and inane conversation can be meaningful and connecting
- Letting go of needing everything to be a growth experience
- Why labels, personality tests, astrology etc. can be terribly constraining of our human experience
- The distraction of "why"
- Making friends with the continually unfolding journey and how this relates to healing and holding our potential lightly
